In the world of Save. Spend. Splurge.
Hey big spender!
These folks really knew how to drop a dime for better or for worse.
Mostly for worse.
What I liked this week:
- 5 of the wildest shopping sprees in history – Imelda Marcos really takes the cake on this one
- I have never heard of J. J. Watts before, but this 25-year old footballer is an impressive man.
- What kids eat around the world for breakfast. I never really ate a lot for breakfast. Lunch and dinner yes..!
- Speaking of food, I can relate: If I were left to fend for myself and cook it’d be terrible.
- How to take an incredible passport photo — great makeup tips and trcks.
- Honestly, a life coach is just someone you pay to be a friend.
- “The real female should be partly male, and vice versa” — I’d agree with this statement.
- Are you traveling with a suit jacket? Learn how to fold it the right way.
- How Madewell (the US retailer), made up its story by buying it.
- Umm.. I LOVE Norway’s new banknotes
- 29 and making $190K a year? You’re in the 1% if you didn’t already know it.
- How to keep your shirt from coming untucked. I tuck it into my pantyhose…!
- I don’t condone violence but I can understand what fueled this village’s rage.
- If you want to be rich, your salary alone won’t get you there. Truth.

That Forbes article ‘Want to be rich? Salary alone won’t get you there’ was very interesting. Over 45% of income coming from Capital Gains I would have never guessed, I thought Partnerships and Corporations would have been a bit higher. It would be interesting to know if the IRS broke down the categories further. It would be nice to find out what percentage was public vs private companies for the capital gains

I agree. I thought businesses would be higher with dividends or something but Cap Gains makes sense particularly with the way the markets bounced back this year.

Ooh…I like the Madewell link. Before I saw this, I was brainstorming an article about “old” companies that have basically just bought their names and history. There are quite a few of them. I was looking into Hunter boots recently because I like how they look and I knew they had a long history. But I learned that now they’re made in China (of course), and the company has changed hands several times. It’s frustrating to realize that so many brands are nothing but smoke and mirrors.

re: that village? Considering how worthless “law and order” have proven, heck, even here in the US for sex crimes, I don’t blame the villagers one bit. They’re not getting justice for the women whose lives have been ruined, first by the initial crime and then again after that by the way society treats them.
